日本優先考慮外匯存底中的穩定而非比特幣

日本政府對在國家儲備中持有比特幣表示謹慎。比特幣等加密貨幣不被視為外匯。

Japan has expressed caution about holding Bitcoin in its national reserves due to the cryptocurrency’s volatility. The government instead prioritizes stability and security in foreign exchange reserves, ensuring that they are liquid and secure.

由於加密貨幣的波動性，日本對在其國家儲備中持有比特幣表示謹慎。相反，政府優先考慮外匯存底的穩定和安全，確保其流動性和安全。

The Japanese government has stated that cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin are not considered foreign exchange under current laws. Foreign exchange reserves are intended to stabilize markets and assets in foreign currencies, and the government maintains strict standards for their safety and liquidity.

日本政府表示，根據現行法律，比特幣等加密貨幣不被視為外匯。外匯存底的目的是穩定外幣市場和資產，政府對其安全性和流動性保持嚴格的標準。

In response to a question by Senator Satoshi Hamada on December 20, the government stated that it is not clear whether countries like the United States have included Bitcoin in their foreign exchange reserves. The government added that discussions about Bitcoin reserves are still in the early stages in many places.

12月20日，政府在回覆參議員濱田聰的提問時表示，目前尚不清楚美國等國家是否已將比特幣納入其外匯存底。政府補充說，許多地方有關比特幣儲備的討論仍處於早期階段。

“We have not confirmed the details of other countries’ handling of any Bitcoin reserves,” the government stated.

「我們尚未確認其他國家處理任何比特幣儲備的細節，」政府表示。

The government’s response to Hamada’s question also highlights Japan’s cautious approach to cryptocurrencies. The country’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) has been cracking down on cryptocurrency exchanges and warned investors about the risks of digital assets.

政府對濱田問題的回應也凸顯了日本對加密貨幣的謹慎態度。該國金融服務局（FSA）一直在打擊加密貨幣交易所，並向投資者警告數位資產的風險。

Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba’s response shows that Japan is carefully considering the implications of adding Bitcoin to its foreign reserves. However, given that Bitcoin’s price is highly volatile, it would be counterproductive to the goals of a government-run reserve system.

日本首相石破茂的回應表明，日本正在仔細考慮將比特幣納入其外匯儲備的影響。然而，鑑於比特幣的價格波動很大，這將不利於政府運作的儲備體系的目標。

“We quickly learn that Bitcoin’s extreme volatility would contradict the goals of any reserve system run by a government,” the prime minister stated.

「我們很快就了解到，比特幣的極端波動性將與政府運行的任何儲備體系的目標相矛盾，」總理表示。

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell stated recently that the Federal Reserve cannot hold Bitcoin in the United States. However, President-elect Trump and some lawmakers favor setting up a Bitcoin reserve instead. This indicates that the idea is more openly discussed in some countries than in others.

聯準會主席鮑威爾近日表示，聯準會不能在美國持有比特幣。然而，當選總統川普和一些立法者贊成設立比特幣儲備。這表明這個想法在一些國家比在其他國家得到更公開的討論。

“Trump administration officials are discussing setting up a U.S. government Bitcoin reserve,” Powell said.

「川普政府官員正在討論建立美國政府比特幣儲備，」鮑威爾說。

Japan, on the other hand, is taking a more cautious approach, expressing concern about the risks posed by Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. While some countries are considering adding Bitcoin to their reserves, Japan appears to be prioritizing stability in its foreign exchange reserves.

另一方面，日本則採取更謹慎的態度，對比特幣和其他加密貨幣帶來的風險表示擔憂。雖然一些國家正在考慮將比特幣添加到其儲備中，但日本似乎優先考慮其外匯儲備的穩定性。

“Some countries are considering holding Bitcoin as reserves, but Japan is aiming to ensure stability in its foreign exchange reserves,” the government stated. “The government wants to make sure that any new changes do not disrupt the economy.”

「一些國家正在考慮持有比特幣作為儲備，但日本的目標是確保其外匯儲備的穩定，」政府表示。 “政府希望確保任何新變化不會擾亂經濟。”

At the moment, Japan is not keen on adding Bitcoin to its national reserves.

目前，日本並不熱衷於將比特幣添加到其國家儲備中。
